“Britain remains a full member of the EU, and the events of the last week do nothing to change that.”

So said David Cameron during his statement to the House of Commons on the EU treaty veto, although listening to the gleeful reaction of the Tory backbenches, you could be forgiven for assuming that he’d told the EU where to go and torched it on his way out for good measure.

In the post-summit photocall of leaders this morning, David Cameron stood right on the edge.

I’ll leave that metaphor hanging in the air for a moment.

It’s clear that Cameron never intended to sign up to any treaty alteration. Indeed I’d go as far to say as the decision this morning to veto was pre-meditated. The PM’s demands were so irreconcilable, so contrary to what the French and

All the talk before today’s early morning brinkmanship was whether our prime minister would win concessions from his European partners, or whack them over the head with his veto. In the end he did neither.

Cameron didn’t arrive at the wife-swapping party without a wife. Instead, he chose to spend the evening with the crossword and a warm cup of cocoa. What those frisky continentals wanted to get up to was a matter

In the midst of WWII, tens of thousands of men were forced to endure what Churchill described as the ‘worst journey in the world’. In sub-zero temperatures, the servicemen of the Arctic Convoys valiantly fought to keep the supply lines with Russia open. It is impossible to envisage how the Red Army would have continued its fight against the Nazis without the heroic actions of these men.

It began like every other business talk. But after the ritual praising the nation’s pharmaceutical industry and the encouragement of those elsewhere to take root in British soil in today’s life sciences speech, David Cameron moved onto depict the NHS as a vast database, where patients might also be subjects, and the line between treatment and research could be increasingly blurred.
